Competition: UNESCO is administering an international design competition to select a winning design entry for the Bamiyan Cultural Centre. The international Design Competition for this project started November 15, 2014 and ends on January 22, 2015. It will draw submissions from a wide range of individual architects, engineers and students from around the world.

The Queanbeyan Business Chamber invites Australian and international designers to enter a design ideas competition for Downtown Q – critical streets and sites within the Central Business District of Queanbeyan. With quality renewal or redevelopment Downtown Q will spearhead regeneration of one of Australia’s oldest inland settlements.

Contemporary materials and technologies, along with cultural and demographic shifts, are challenging traditional notions of the home. This competition invites participants to consider the domestic revolution over the past century, what “smart” means now, and what it might mean in the year 2020.
